		<description><![CDATA[Ben Witherington III has a well deserved career in the academic world.  He has produced several commentaries in the Socio-Rhetorical Commentary series of his and they are masterpieces.  In one particularly celebrated book, Jesus, Paul and the End of the World (IVP, 1992) Ben interacts with a series of NT texts dealing with eschatology proper. In particular his analysis of the text of II Co 5.1-10 (203-215) is fairly thorough, quoting from the major works on this epistle (R.P. Martin, V. P. Furnish, Moule, and, of course, C. K. Barrett).  There is a fair consensus here that Paul is dealing with the intermediate state: what happens to the Christian when he dies before the finality of the restoration of all of creation?  This is a question that has occupied a good deal of discussion in the historic community as well as the present.  Wright tackles it in Surprised by Hope (a work I highly recommend). First off, like my article pointed out (&#8220;II Corinthians 3-5&#8243;), Paul &#8220;mixes his metaphors speaking of both buildings and being clothed&#8221; (207).  This is certainly true.  The idea of going to a &#8220;building&#8221; (which most if not all scholars see as a metaphor for the body) or being &#8220;overclothed&#8221; (putting something on something else), I believe, suggest that Paul is alluding to two items that are closely related in terms of meaning.  Hence, there is considerably confusion about the &#8220;mixing&#8221; of metaphors here if both refer to &#8220;body&#8221;. 5.1 reads, &#8220;1 Οἴδαμεν γὰρ ὅτι ἐὰν ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In these chapters, Paul is definitely speaking of the change the new covenant regeneration brings to the believers.  Again, I believe that he speaks proleptically, writing as if already living in the age to come (since it was to dawn in his own generation).  The &#8220;powers&#8221; of that age were &#8220;already&#8221; starting their transforming work (Heb 6.5).  The age itself had not yet come, but the powers of that age had already begun the prepratorywork that would come to characterize the &#8220;generations&#8221; (Eph 3.21) and &#8220;ages&#8221; (Eph 2.7) to come.  These coming generations of believers answers the time the Prophets foretold as being dominated by an explosion of the inclusion of &#8220;the nations&#8221;.  These &#8220;nations&#8221; would, over the span of the ages, come to be known as those &#8220;born in Zion&#8221; (Ps 87; Is 19.23-25; 56.3-8, et al).  These passages prophesy a time when the nations will be considered &#8220;Israel&#8221;, &#8220;sons of Abraham&#8221; (Rom 4; Gal 3-4).  They will offer sacrifices and offerings in the Temple of Zion, etc.  This was the &#8220;mystery&#8221; (one of them, anyway) of the Gospel (Eph 3.1-6), the inclusion of the nations. Now, even this was &#8220;already&#8221; at work in Paul&#8217;s time.  The &#8220;power&#8221; of God to start the process of causing the nations to stream to Mount Zion (Is 2.1-ff) had begun.  That is, what would dominate or characterize the age to come, was already working.  Yet, the old covenant remained in force, so the &#8220;dividing wall&#8221; of hostility as represented by the outward ...]]></description>
